Motorcycles on show at RACQ MotorFest

Motorcycles from the past and present will be on show at the annual RACQ MotorFest tomorrow, July 10, 2016, with more than 30 bikes being judged.

Half of those will be old BMWs which will be on display at the BMW stand along weith cars to honour the marque’s 100 years.

Apart from the usual classic motorcycles on display, there will be displays of modern motorcycles from Harley-Davidson, Indian Motorcycle and Victory Motorcycles.

RACQ spokesman and keen motorcyclist Steve Spalding says they have introduced an additional award for the bikes this year to help separate the very early ones from the later post 1960 bikes.
